As I am trying to introduce the same microfauna as in the main tank, are the tiny bristleworms likely to help, or will they hinder matters by eating the worms I am trying to introduce?
In the early days I saw one of the adults trying to pull a bristle star under the sand, unsuccessfully. They do not seem to have teeth, but they swallow things whole if they can – and their mouths are extensible. Even the small ones could swallow the mini worms from the main tank. If necessary I could borrow a spider crab or trap a few bristleworms with bait to reduce the population.
